I would say (and he’s listed on the International Vegetarian Union website!) Jesus, but since he’s a made up character and even if he wasn’t, i’d just argue with him all night, I won’t. So: Kirk Hammett so we could compare who’s best at playing “Orion” and I could worship the ground he walks on; Yehudi Menuhin so I could talk him into a coma like he used to me as a boy every bloody year at some boring school event in the Leas Cliff Hall; Leonardo da Vinci so I could thank him for flying things and parachute inventions and that. And steal his ideas; William Shatner so he could sing to us at the end of the night and I could heckle the hell out of him; Geoff Tate to find out how one epic track (“Empire”) can make a career and finance a life.

ok my first guest would have to be Russell Brand – cos he’s absolutely hilarious and because he comes from Grays which is just up the road so he could probably walk here so could get pissed and therfore even funnier. Next would be Socrates as a bit of philosophy always goes down well over dinner and I’ve never understood what he was on about so he could perhaps clarify, as long as I get to ask questions before my second glass of wine. Elvis Costello next, he’d hopefully bring his guitar – dinner and a show! Leonardo Da Vinci would have to be invited – as an artist I couldn’t ignore him, though its a damn shame that Dan Brown isnt veggie cos that would be one interesting conversation, would perhaps have to supply Leo with a copy of the book if only to get his answer to the he/she question. My last would have to be Judi Dench for no other reason than she is far too cool to be left out.

Mine would have to be:

Carmen Miranda – The film star famed for her colourful hats bearing loads of fruit. My Mum and Dad couldn’t agree on my name so in a temper Mum said – ‘oh just call her Carmen Miranda and be done with’ but my Dad liked it so Carmen Miranda I am. Would love to have met the colourful film star and at least we would have had a fresh supply of fruit

Billy Idol – Just because how fun would that be?

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark – Ooer I just bet she has a tale or two to tell over dinner!

Jorja Fox – my sister is majorly in luuurve with her and would be indebted to me forever.

Rob Zombie – I was hoping my not so secret luuurve would be on the list but alas he isn’t (Alice Cooper) So I’ll settle for Rob and soak up any stories he might have of Alice

Joaquin Phoenix so I can convince him to get rid of the silly beard and go back to acting.

Josh Hartnett because he’s gorgeous.

Heather Mills-McCartney to get all the gossip about Paul.

Michael Jackson to find out if he really is wacko.

I was going to agree with your “Damon Albarn as we can get drunk and slag off Oasis” comment for the fith guest, but if we have to pick five people you haven’t, then it has to be Toby McGuire because he’s the only man on the planet that looks good in lycra.
